Yup, Lowe is still there so this is a minor shuffle of the deck chairs. Lowe gets to pull the strings via MacTavish like he has after Katz started listening to him again last offseason as Lowe constructed his coup.

Nicholson happy as a pig in that interview because Holland fell into his lap in the past days when Yzerman shunned Holland, and Nicholson is off the hook with his boss, who tasked him with cleaning up the mess, something he had no idea how he was going to do it, especially after his junket tour of the NHL and being told no one wants that joke of a job with an organization with so much internal drama, a cap team, a losing attitude and a ace no player would choose to play.

He thus is most happy he doesn't have the sleepless nights having to explain, as it was looking a foregone conclusion in hiring Gretzky Jr, and flat lie trying to convince the hockey world that Keith Gretzky was the best and only one in all of hockey that wanted the job, and how to spin that the OBC clubs want fully in play with his appointment.

Nicholson can now go back to the shadows and be the Hockey Canada mascot that Katz has collected, after designing the next burger, first.
